A song written in English, by an Icelandic creative powerhouse, sang to a japanese audience, in a thick accent. Damn. Imagine creating something so powerful that it’s THAT universal. Epic.
Bjork is so unique that people would find it difficult to do cover versions of her music. Very complex and different. I think that she is way ahead of her time to be honest. I like it though.
It's hard to cover her songs because she is so unique! but as a musician, I can tell that once you start to analyze the music, you realize that this music is full of harmony and can be interpreted in many ways, and that is what Bjork actually does to her songs - I can't remember a single tour when she repeated herself in terms of arrangements!
WRITTEN, SINGLE, TOUCHED AND VISUAL POETRY OF THE BEST QUALITY! I was a teenager, I remember at the time that this clip of the song "Pagan Poetry" by this Icelandic singer Bjork, made a lot of controversy when it was released, I read in magazines, getting banned from MTV. According to my perception the clip can be divided into two parts. The first is basically composed of sex between abstract forms alternated with images of needles, piercings and collars being inserted into a woman's body. In the second part, Bjork is finally shown wearing a "wedding dress". Detail: This dress leaves Björk's breasts on display and is theoretically supported by the piercings and necklaces shown in the first part of the video. By having some "sex and nudity scenes" the unsuspecting may consider the video appealing and pornographic, however, it is far from it. The purpose of pornographic content is to sexually excite, whoever has seen knows what I am talking about, far from the purpose And the emotions of "Pagan Poetry." With all these needles, Björk's bipolar expressions, which now both cries, smiles, and surrealism in the sexual scenes, the transmitted feeling is basically pain, despair, and a near loss of sanity. A wedding dress is a symbol of love, after all a couple just gets married (or should be) when they both love each other.But the dress used in the video is only maintained thanks to the various painfully used necklaces and piercings By the singer.Therefore, love exists only close to her pain? The letter of the song does not give much detail on the reason for this pain.Infidelity? Unrequited love? Moral questions? Or worse, would the lover himself be the one who hurts her? , For whatever reason, love hurts and Björk, managed to pass all this pain so much for those who listen to the song and its silent and distressed I love him / her, both for those who see the instability of Their expressions in the video. Shocking, dark, mysterious, beautiful and painful, in short "Pagan Poetry" is a true work of art. What charmed, enchanted and enchanted those who see and hear!
Björk is perfection, although I would like to hear a live rendition of the last lines that compete with the studio version. Poor classically trained string players could not stay in tempo without a conductor.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849why are you in this comment section replying to people with some goofy responses and ruining the atmosphere. listen to the performence instead of complaining about someones opinion or the word “period”
Pedaling through The dark currents I find An accurate copy A blueprint Of the pleasure In me A secret code carved, a secret code carved He offers A handshake Crooked Five fingers They form a pattern Yet to be matched On the surface simplicity But the darkest pit in me It's pagan poetry Pagan poetry Morsecoding signals They pulsate and wake me up From my hibernating On the surface simplicity But the darkest pit in me It's pagan poetry Pagan poetry I love him, I love him I love him, I love him I love him, I love him I love him, I love him This time I'm gonna keep it to myself This time I'm gonna keep me all to myself And he makes me want to hurt myself again And he makes me want to hurt myself again
@rococoness The majority of the ppl watching this ARE so I decided to not be snobby and speak in their language so they cud understand. Next time,please mind your own business.I mean,It's just a comment :D Thank yew
So I have convinced myself that this song can be interpreted as a song about Pagan Worship of Saturn and whatever the hell she is saying at 3:45 to 4:16 is a powerful incantation in either another language or sung backwards. Nevertheless this is by far and wide my favorite song of hers next to the now second place "Unravel".
My first thought (and expression publicly) when I first heard this song was that Bjork makes women fear how deep they fall in love with men; it's like they began to resent this form of vulnerability. I met a number of feminists that day...
What is the last lyric she sings? I can't find it online because she only sings it live. Am I correct in thinking it's, "He makes me want to give me away" ? Thanks!
